We were pleased to read Annalise Knudson’s article, “FDA looks to lower nicotine levels in cigarettes to reduce smoking rates.”

We believe this to be important news because it will help stop the addiction of cigarettes for good. This is an admission by the FDA that nicotine is addictive and harmful to society. The FDA hasn’t kept its promise in the past years, so it is up to us to speed this along. The sooner this proposal is enacted, the sooner new generations will be saved from the danger of nicotine and future deaths.
